You should all seriously consider reading Onani Master Kurosawa.

I can hear you saying now, "Peter what is this and why does the title make it sound like it has to do with masturbation?". The answer to these questions is "It is a fantastically good manga series from 2000, and the title sounds like it has to do with masturbation because it does. Specifically, it's about a guy who stays after school every day so he can sneak into the girl's washroom and jerk off."

BUT IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD, I SWEAR )

WARNINGS: Uh, well, sexual content, obviously, although like I said above it's not terribly explicit. Some of his fantasies (OK, all but...one...of them) are pretty rape-y, in the grand tradition of hentai. Oh and there's some stuff late in the series that could be triggering in terms of self-harm stuff.

So for Christmas I got the first season of Babylon 5 on DVD. It was so awesome that when I was barely halfway through the first season, I ran out to the store and bought the second season. I had quite a lot of trouble finding it; nowhere seemed to have any season except for the fifth, and with a plot-heavy show like this one, you really don't want to go skipping ahead. My frustration in this regard was compounded by the fact that every store seemed to be carrying Battlestar Galactica, and their titles and genres are JUST close enough to give me false hope for a moment. Add in the fact that BSG does absolutely nothing for me...yeah.

Anyways, I just finished watching Season Two and I have to say: fucking awesome. This show is amazing, and I'm told the next two seasons are even better. Y'all need to watch it.

Anyways, it's a fantastic series and I can't wait to watch some more. You should all watch it, too.

Details within )
Emotionally gripping, funny as hell, and with more likable, three-dimensional characters than you can shake a stick at, I recommend Solanin to everyone. It's 28 chapters long, and the chapters are most short, so it's something that any of us can get through pretty easily. You can read it online at One Manga. It's also been licensed by Viz, who appear to have released it all in one big volume.

So guys I'm going to do that thing now that I do from time to time where I blabber on about new awesome shit that I have found since I last did this. or stuff that doesn't quite qualify as awesome but is still worth a look. Or stuff that I've known about for a while but haven't talked about here before. You get the idea. Some of this has eaten my brain harder than others, but whatever.

Soul Eater, The Hour of the Mice, Silvery Crow, Flame of Recca and Vinland Saga )
